Kapil Dev is honorary head coach

NEW DELHI, APRIL 11. Kapil Dev will be the honorary head coach of the cricket team for the Special Olympics.

The former India captain said here on Monday, "I'll help them by trying my best to coach them. I want them to realise that we are one. I've always looked forward to involve myself with such a cause. I'll be happy if I could be of any help to them."

Kapil was extending his support to the Special Olympics Programme in India which launched the Inspire Hope Campaign aimed at extending opportunities to people with intellectual disabilities and inspire them to train and compete through sport.

The campaign was launched by the Special Olympics International (SOI) CEO Dr. Timothy P Shriver. The Inspire Hope campaign aims to enrol 200000 athletes by the end of this year for Special Olympics Bharat, the India chapter of SOI. — Our Special Correspondent
